for a girlfriend maybe. nothing amazing but worth a pound i'd say.

just weighed my langster monaco, i've made a few changes but it came up at 8.5kg (it's 56cm).

ye, i'd throw a frame in too. i couldn't really care less what colour it is either.

already in current projects, but here's my girlfriends bike. awaiting mudguards, new chain, new pedals and a nice saddle. but for €50 so far i'm doing well (including the basket and the brake yoke on the back which is pretty handy for stopping outside the shops). it has a back pedal brake too which is pretty cool, i had never used one before.

lady bike so far. still got more to do but my girlfriend loves it already. and only €50 spent so far for everything.

^^ would it be ok for a non french head tube, since it's in there in the pic he must have sanded it down already?

cheers for that ^^. i was thinking i'd run 48-17 so that's about right. is it a good idea to put the back brake on again if i have loaded panniers on the back?

Dublin - Galway - Dublin - Cork - Dublin anybody? =P

bit long for me. i'm not going to be going til august anyway since i'll be in india for july and need to work before that.
i have a friend who did dublin-cork fixed in 2 days. he said it was pretty bad but he managed it.

cheers for that. panniers and a chrome bag is the way to go i think. i'll pull out the old bib shorts too!

will i die if i try this fixed? has anyone else done it and if so what gear did you use? i'm planning on trying it during the summer and would appreciate hearing anybody else's experiences.
cheers in advance

i would have snapped that up had it been a 56. good thing i wasn't because i don't really have that money to spend on a bike ;)

it's ok according to that thread. but if it was my own bike i'd be nervous about it alrite. maybe try a slightly less powerful stripper. or don't be a bitch like me and just do it ;)

looks lovely. i really wish i had had the money for it. i'm not positive but i though nitromors was alrite to use with chrome.

thought you mite be interested in what someone else on here did to their flyer

not quite budget but it is amazing. great job ed, i'm still surprised how good you made that bike every time i see it.

that fork looks bent, or is it just a funny angle?

As for Irish Mick: having two mechanical brakes, or one mechanical brake, does not mean you can't stop or slow down with your legs.

i just think it's stupid to put a fancy, expensive brake on a bike that's less practical then a normal brake. my point was that if the chain broke you would not be able to slow down with your legs or the mechanical brake, and that seems stupid to me.

EDIT: i don't really care about care about the whole brakeless thing, i just think if you have a brake it makes sense for them to be independent.

well, i've heard a lot of people on here saying that in the uk you need to have two independent braking systems for your bike to be road legal (one of which can be the fix wheel). since both braking systems on the bike rely on the chain they are not independent so not road legal and pretty stupid.

anyone seen the brown paddy wagon on Parnell street with the dickie-bow?

ye, i see it all the time. not sure about the brown but i love the dickie-bow!

for the giants amongst you. 64cm, 531 and 65BIN

saw another one of those crates (unipacks) cycling around trinity today. they're invading!

fake photo tho (as pointed out by edscoble in the other thread)

just thought i'd post this in here for all you polo enthusiasts. saw it on the boards.ie cycling forum. a guy ground off the teeth on the outer ring of his crankset making a nice bashguard, seemed like a good idea.

i dont think that's bent. it looks just like the fork on my langster. also if the steerer was bent, the fork wouldn't sit against the bottom of the headtube properly.
